Inclusion & Diversity

Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA) at Girls on the Run

Belonging occurs where inclusion, diversity, equity, and access (IDEA) intersect. Since the inception of Girls on the Run in 1996, our goal has been to create a welcoming and safe space where participants can have a meaningful and engaging experience. When we say “all,” we mean participants of all intersecting social identities, including all races, ethnicities, income levels, sexual orientations, religions, and those with and without disabilities. Girls on the Run has set itself apart by weaving inclusive practices throughout everything it does — from curriculum development and coach training to hiring processes and vendor selection.
